Example Database Connections for Microsoft Access

Note: Example values and screens given in this section are based on particular database and driver software versions and configurations. They are provided for illustration and guidance. Your own environment may require different values and procedures.

 

You must be able to establish two types of connectivity to your Microsoft Access database for use with the mapping tool and the maps it generates:

  • ODBC connection from the LANSA Composer client computer

     While defining your map you need to be able to establish an ODBC connection to the Microsoft Access database on your network.  This connection is initiated from the client computer running MapForce. Refer to:

Connecting to Microsoft Access to Define a Transformation Map

  • JDBC connection from the LANSA Composer server computer

     When the Transformation map runs, it will use a JDBC connection to establish the connection to the Microsoft Access database on your network. This connection is initiated from the server computer on which the transformation map executes and is defined in LANSA Composer by means of a Database Configuration. Refer to:
